#15 Oh Hail! No!
Jayne's Empty Nest ― It was April of 2011 and I was not prepared for the strange weather that was about to hit the southern and eastern regions. Everyday that I woke up I immediately turned on the TV to find out what time the storms were predicted to hit. Many times I... (more)

#14 Mr. Dreams aka Mr. Honey Badger
Jayne's Empty Nest ― There I was on the phone with, I will call him for now, Mr. Dreams. The persistence of Mr. Dreams was remarkable. It was as if he already knew about the dreams and just wanted me to admit to them. Before we got off the phone he had successfully... (more)

#12 Busted!
Jayne's Empty Nest ― Since my arrival, my mother's health had been pretty good. Even though she was no longer in remission, she kept our attitudes up instead of us needing to help keep her spirits raised. It was in the afternoon in March 2011, when I got the call that my... (more)

#10 Hit Hard
Jayne's Empty Nest ― My driving was almost over. I went to Virginia to visit my mother and her husband. Imagine my surprise when I shared with my mother my mutant spider story (see #9) and she said, "Oh those are jumping spiders." Jump, I thought to myself, those ugly... (more)

#9 Attack of the Mutant Spider
Jayne's Empty Nest ― There I was finally in the state of Tennessee after leaving California 2 weeks prior. Yes, I had taken my time, but my car had needed much TLC after being driven the 2000+ miles cross country. During my journey I had seen god-parents, aunts,... (more)

#8 Trail of Tears
Jayne's Empty Nest ― What was originally meant to be an overnight trip turned into ten days. As mentioned earlier, my angels were being worked overtime. Somehow I had made it 2,000 miles to my family's home. When my uncle looked under the hood he immediately made... (more)

#7 Purging
Jayne's Empty Nest ― It was day 5 of my journey and the only reason I wasn't overwhelmed with thoughts of leaving my old life was because of the road trip and the adventure of it all. There I was out on the open highway trying to out drive a tornado warning as I drove... (more)

#6 Time Travel
Jayne's Empty Nest ― It's an amazing thing to be 48 years old and then suddenly you're 7. But that's what was about to happen as I pulled up to my god-father's house in Denver. As I got out of the van he said to me,"You're 7 years old, what are you doing driving?" Then... (more)

#5 Mr. Sweet 16
Jayne's Empty Nest ― I want to go back to Day 2 of the drive. If it wasn't bad enough that I was weeping while listening to "Our Song" I happen to leave out that I was also getting phone calls and text messages from "Mr. Sweet 16" (see #2 The Two Week Pack) checking on... (more)

#4 In Love Again!
Jayne's Empty Nest ― After finally getting some rest in Reno it was off to Salt Lake City. To add to the adventure of it all, I think I should share that I've barely made it into the 20th century let alone the 21st century. My van not only was lacking in air but it was... (more)

#3 Barbie Goes to Reno
Jayne's Empty Nest ― When earlier I stated that I drove off into the sunset, I meant it literally. As soon as my van was packed I left. It just so happen that it was 5pm. All I needed to do was get to Reno. I had decided since my van's air-conditioning was not really... (more)

#2 - The Two Week Pack
Jayne's Empty Nest ― So, let me go back to my two week pack so things will make sense from this point on. (Note - if you haven't read 2010 It Begins! you may want to read it before this one.) As I had mentioned earlier, I'm a pack rat. While going through my papers, I... (more)
